This video follows landscape contractors installing Living Walls™ instant hedges in the ground, from delivery and trench preparation through to the finished hedge.
Use it alongside our In-ground Instant Hedge Installation Guide, which provides the full written installation process.
This real installation shows what to expect when Living Walls™ instant hedges are handled and installed on site. Site conditions vary, so refer to the Installation Guide for the installation requirements relevant to your project.
Do I need the timber edge shown in the video?
No. The shallow timber edge was added by the homeowners as a mowing strip. It is not required for Living Walls™ installation.
What should I add to the trench?
Nothing extra is required. Simply backfill with the soil excavated from the trench.
Do I need to cut the hedge lengths before installation?
No. Living Walls™ are supplied in one-metre lengths and are normally installed as full lengths. In the video, the landscape contractor cuts one hedge length to create a shorter section needed for that particular space.
If a shorter section is required for your project, see the Installation Guide for how to divide a hedge length correctly.
See our In-ground Instant Hedge Installation Guide for the complete process, or return to Installing Living Walls™ for other installation situations.
